Background: The objectives of this study were: (1) to evaluate the detectability of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) plus dual-mode digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and compare it with that of FFDM alone and (2) to compare the detectability of high-resolution-mode (HR mode used with 40°-angle imaging, 100-µm pixel size, and higher dose) DBT with that of standard-mode (ST mode used with 15°-angle imaging, 150-µm pixel size, and lower dose) DBT for diagnostic evaluation.
Materials: The local Institutional Review Board approved this retrospective study of two different sets of cases. All participants gave written informed consent. FFDM and DBT images of 471 women who were recalled were acquired between August 2013 and October 2014. HR mode and ST mode were applied to 155 breasts and 157 breasts, respectively. The cases of both modes were selected randomly. Eight radiologists interpreted the images. The detectability for recall cases and for follow cases, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated.
Results: Adding DBT to FFDM significantly increased the detectability for recall cases and AUC relative to those of FFDM alone (HR mode 8.9 %; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 5.7, 15.0 %; P = 0.013 and 4.9 %; 95 % CI 2.1, 7.7 %; P = 0.001; ST mode 8.3 %; 95 % CI 4.1, 12.1 %; P = 0.007 and 2.9 %; 95 % CI 0.5, 5.3 %; P = 0.02), whereas the detectability for follow cases did not significantly differ. The AUC increase was significantly higher in HR mode than in ST mode (1.5 %; 95 % CI 0.5, 3.7 %; P = 0.023).
Conclusion: Adding HR-mode or ST-mode DBT to FFDM significantly improved the detectability for diagnostic evaluation case.

The excessive use of organophosphorus pesticides poses a substantial threat to both human health and the environment. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new methods that can quickly degrade and sensitively detect these compounds. A versatile nanozyme based on the biomimetic principle is an effective strategy to solve this problem.

Complementary neural network circuits combining multifunctional high-performance p-type with n-type organic artificial synapses satisfy sophisticated applications such as image cognition and prosthesis control. However, implementing the dual-modal memory features that are both volatile and nonvolatile in a synaptic transistor is challenging. Herein, for the first time, we propose a single vertical n-type organic synaptic transistor (VNOST) with a novel polymeric organic mixed ionic-electronic conductor as the core channel material to achieve dual-modal synaptic learning/memory behaviors at different operating current densities via the formation of an electric double layer and the reversible ion doping.

The denatured bovine serum albumin (dBSA) is coupled with the CdTe/CdS quantum dot and the resulting CdTe/CdS@dBSA complex is assembled and retained in the poly(n-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel via regulating temperature and pH to form the CdTe/CdS@dBSA-PNIPAM fluorescence hydrogel substrate, which is able to adsorb and sense cadmium ions (Cd). Based on this fluorescence hydrogel, a fluorescence and colorimetric dual-mode detection system is established to quantitatively detect Cd with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.88 nM for fluorescence detection and 11.

The detection of nucleic acids, which typically consists of nucleic acid extraction, reverse transcription and amplification, is a crucial component of molecular diagnostics. However, traditional methods have several limitations, including high reliance on skilled personnel, low degree of automation and lengthy assay times. Additionally, these methods also require separate areas for the different steps to avoid contamination.

Background: Minimally invasive internal fixation is the preferred treatment option for femoral shaft fractures. However, there are problems such as invisibility, inaccuracy and instability in the process of plate implantation.
Methods: In this paper, a dual-mode robot-assisted plate implantation method was proposed by combining a starting point determination algorithm, motion capture, deep learning and robotics.
